I have an old side by side shotgun 12 Ga. It is marked F.V. Dreyse Sommerda. It is hammerless and has sling brackets for sling. It came with what appeared to be a sterling silver sling which I misplaced. It has deep silver engraving and silver inlay on forearm and receiver. The safety is marked in gold inlay with the word "fret". The stock appears to be burl walnut. The gun appears in my estimation to be in excellent condition.
I would like to know the value and any information available on this gun.
Thanks

  The Dreyse family were noted German firearms manufacturers from the 1840's, until the time of World War I.
  
  We would need quality photos of your shotgun, specially close-ups of all markings to help identify and value it.
